This Newt was such a surprising treat to see in this pond

The pond skater and snail were wonderful enough, but this amphibian was really special.

Great Crested Newt in #Bath #Somerset #UK. A protected species here in the UK (I have a licence to catch and handle them).

In the past three days, I've switched my #homelab to a new #ReverseProxy! After using #NginxProxyManager and #Zoraxy, I've now moved to #Pangolin.

Pangolin allows me to provide my #selfhosted services from my home lab without needing to open a port in my #firewall.

Essentially, it's a self-hosted alternative to #CloudflareTunnels, running on a #VPS. Due to the current political situation in the #USA, I preferred not to use Cloudflare.

Pangolin is based on #WireGuard and #Newt, enabling a #certificate-based direct connection after installing a client on the home server.

I'm extremely satisfied with it and now have no open ports in my private #network!

How did the newt cross the road? With the help of the Chileno Valley Newt Brigade!

I was attempting to get a close-up of the underside of a mushroom and almost bumped smack dab into this poor fellow who was just trying to hide from the rain surprisingly he didn't mov too much (just tilted his head a bit) even as I was that close, I appreciate his patience with me as I briefly got up in his space.

zoom in on these adorable newt toes

(bonus audio of my son sad he didn’t see them first, but a few steps down the trail he found one on his own and all was right in the world!)

Seen on my walk today #railTrail #newt

a newt* in the hand is worth two on the mushroom

*I’m pretty sure this is a red eft (terrestrial phase of the eastern newt) but if I’m wrong let me know please!

A smooth newt, Ireland's only newt species, and the first I've seen in an age. Encountered it in soil near Lough Corrib while planting hazel trees
